Mamacrowd Launches Five Campaigns with November 10th Deadline

The Italian authority (Consob and Banca D’Italia) has reportedly mandated that campaigns launched under the old equity crowdfunding regulatory regime cannot be online after November 10th, the deadline for the new European crowdinvesting regulation to come into effect.

Mamacrowd has therefore decided, in agreement with the proponents, to launch as many as five equity crowdfunding campaigns, all with a November 10th deadline, to avoid any possible regulatory problems.

To date, no Italian platform has yet obtained European authorization, and that, in its absence, platforms cannot operate after November 10th.

In the uncertainty, Mamacrowd has therefore preferred to advise companies to launch their rounds in these days and to close them by the last date when the old regulation will be in force.

A scenario that generates a crowding of investment proposals, is anomalous for Italian crowdfunding, especially given the current moment of macroeconomic difficulty.

Mealthie’s campaign on Mamacrowd

Specializing in Healthy Food, Mealthie is an innovative startup founded in Milan in 2021, with the aim of proposing fresh, balanced, and high-quality dishes. A philosophy that puts health first for those who believe that wellness begins at the table.

Between 2021 and 2022, Mealthie increased its turnover by 200 percent, from €215,000 to €676,000. A goal that it expects to exceed further in 2023, with the target set at €1.2 million.

The round is aiming for a minimum fundraising target of €150,000 with a pre-money valuation of €5.3 million.

Biova Project on Mamacrowd

Biova Project was created to give a second life to surplus food that is in danger of becoming waste. Created in 2019, Biova chose beer as its first product to test its model in the market: a range of beers created to combat food waste, extracted from unsold bread, pasta scraps, and broken rice. From 150 kg of unsold bread, 2,500 liters of craft beer are produced, saving 30 percent of virgin raw materials.

To date, Biova’s products can be found on the shelves of major Ho.re.ca chains and also in large-scale retail chains such as COOP Nord Ovest and Carrefour, on Cortilia, and at many other distributors. Thanks to successful partnerships, chains such as Capatoast (40 restaurants) and Ikea Italia (22 restaurants and bars) are also served. The products are also having a good response in luxury hotels (Melia, Mandarin Oriental, Nh, Radisson).

Biova is in its third equity crowdfunding round and is aiming for a minimum fundraising target of €500,000 with a pre-money valuation of €6 million.
